[1] Cribbage
is an older game that most people have heard of but never really played. It is
one of my favorite games to play and is always out when I am home. My mom
trained me for years as a child by giving rewards like chocolate if I won and
now I beat her majority of the time. Three years ago there was a large snow
storm in Northern Virginia which knocked out our power for a couple days so we
played by candle light during our breaks from shoveling the inches of snow off
of our driveway. As a result of this assignment I learned about cribbage
tournaments that occur in Nevada, I did not know this game was that popular.
[2] Soccer
was my life from kindergarten to 5th grade until I was converted to
playing basketball after playing with the boys at recess. I played with my best
friend Jesse outside every day and then I tried out for a team and that was the
beginning of my basketball career. I was 5’2” as an 11 year old so I got to
play center until 7th grade when I tried out for a travel team and
became a shooting guard. I quickly switched from tallest to shortest girl on
the team in one tryout. I was converted from then on, basketball became my
life. Practice was my favorite time of the day because I’d go from practicing
with the girls to playing with the boys to playing against older men who were
30-50. I was talked into trying out for my high school’s team and played for
them for a year. I met one of my best friends through basketball and I still
love basketball today. I go to every home Tech basketball game.
